Rosebud
Rosebud | Paul Cornell
3 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
"The crew of the Rosebud are, currently, and by force of law, a balloon, a goth with a swagger stick, some sort of science aristocrat possibly, a ball of hands, and a swarm of insects." Digitally speaking, that is. The ship has assembled its crew of sentient artificial intelligences to discuss an unusual object picked up by its sensors. They have no idea what this encounter will mean for the fate of all existence. Nor will they remember. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Absolutely loved this book. It‘s quite short (only a little over 100 pages), but full of big ideas about space travel and time and even a little bit about magic. In a distant, dystopian future, five beings in a near microscopic ship are exploring an anomaly—a thing less than a millimeter in size that could change our entire solar system. CW: this book has portrayals of oppression and transphobia, but ultimately has a very hopeful message.

What a line!

"The cre of the Rosebud are, currently-- and by force of law--a balloon, a goth, some sort of science aristocrat possibly, a ball of hands, and a swarm I'd insects."

Mehso-so

Received to review. Not a huge fan; I felt like the transphobia stuff was used as a backdrop a bit too casually, and I had difficulty keeping track of characters.
